This is Paul’s Mom Marie’s twist on the creamy shrimp pasta, one of many delicious meals she made for us when we went to visit over the holidays. It’s ingeniously simple and delicious and her secret ingredient is Philadelphia’s herb and garlic cream cheese which is the base for her creamy sauce. A little tomato sauce turns it a pretty pink blush, as she calls it, and piri-piri (in true Portuguese fashion, of course!) adds extra umami, depth and a little heat to the dish. It also cleverly cuts through the richness of the sauce so that you can eat even more of it. This all comes together incredibly quickly and so will be polishing it off, just you wait and see!
